12hoursofmesaverde.com (I have Shopp deactivated right now)
WordPress = 3.8.1
bbPress = 2.5.3
Shopp = 1.3.1

I’m not sure if this is a Shopp issue or bbPress so I am reporting it to both of you.

I can’t run Shopp and bbPress at the same time without bbPress breaking. When I have them both activated, many of the Shopp admin UI abilities go away (no forums tab, some forums disappeared). I also tried to make a new forum and got an error that the post type was not valid. When I deactivated Shopp, bbPress started working normally again.

Whilst much of this link is blanked out, it does seem to indicate a problem with conflicting page templates.

What I’d suggest you do is create a page template for your bbpress so that it only uses that one, leaving shop to use whatever template it is using.

You don’t say what theme you are using – and in fact it could be the theme’s page template that is causing the issue.

But let’s suggest for a starter that you look in your theme, and copy then rename it’s default page template as per part 8 above.

If you need further help doing that, or it doesn’t work, come back
